Reflection: So far all of the characters are growing and gaining much knowledge. The readers now know that Nettie isn't dead after all. Mr was hiding her letters that she sent to Celie. A good reason for him to do this is because Nettie turned him down. This novel teaches many life lessons and I am excited that we chose this book. Daily post: Today I got to go over ACT material with my math teacher. Also, I been studying for 2 hours trying to prepare myself for the test. I have to get up at 7 a.m. tomorrow.  I would be devastated if I don't make a good grade. Fingers crossed and wish me luck.

Reflection of Black Boy

Black Boy is an awesome novel. The biggest lesson in the novel is racism from each race. It shows how African Americans were treated years ago. Humanity was hypocritical and still is today. This novel is a life lesson to many races especially African Americans. Also, education is every important in novel because with education one can become anything. Furthermore, when you stand for what you believe things will go much smoother. Naturalism also occurs in this novel as well. Richard is taught by people around him and it's not who he wants to be.
